		<description>Hi Johannes,

Thanks for the response to the article.
I&#039;m afraid I won&#039;t be able to get any more specific without knowing more about tour circumstances.

What industry are you in?  How many suppliers do you deal with on an annual basis?  What is your supplier average on-time delivery performance?  How often are you expediting / delaying your requested delivery dates?  What percentage of your own internal missed delivery dates are a consequence of poor supplier performance?  Are you a make to stock or make to order shop?  What are your safety stock policies?  Are you using any vendor managed inventory?  Kanban / min-max replenishment systems?  etc.

Give me a call and we can discuss.
